Troubleshooting
Paint not drying properly
Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid painting in cold or humid conditions. Check the product expiry date.
Poor coverage or uneven finish
Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Apply thin, even coats, and avoid overloading the brush or roller. Multiple coats might be necessary.
Paint is peeling or flaking
Make sure the surface is completely clean and dry before painting. Ensure proper surface preparation. Consider using a primer if the surface is particularly difficult to adhere to.
Brush strokes are visible
Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply the paint in thin, even coats, and avoid overworking the paint. Consider using a paint additive to improve flow and levelling.
Odour is stronger than expected
Ensure the area is well-ventilated during and after painting. Although low-odour, some smell is normal. If the smell is excessive, check the product's expiry date and storage conditions.
